Bujor Hoinic (RO/TR) – Frühlingsideen

Bujor Hoinic über sein piano piece „Frühlingsideen“:

„“Frühlingsideen“ for piano, is a little piece inspired by the „Spring Sonata“ for violin and piano by L. v. Beethoven. The first 4 bars of this variations is the main theme (in F Dur) followed by 5 variations. The first variation Andante contains counterpoint style and new armonisation to the theme. The second variation Lento in d moll, the theme comes in a more romantic style but the third variation Allegro agitato contrasts the previous music. L’istesso tempo has a march character. Finally the last variation, Presto, uses the theme in a rude and extreme quick tempo untill last 8 bars in which it returns to the pastoral and calm athmosphere of the Spring Sonata.“
